Aflatoxins are carcinogenic and toxic metabolites produced by the fungus Aspergillus flavus during infection of maize (Zea mays L.) and other seed oil crops. Climatic conditions in the southeastern United States favor A. flavus infection and aflatoxin contamination in maize, making it a major issue for farmers in the region. One of the most promising avenues to combat aflatoxin contamination is the...
Several species of the genus Aspergillus are mycotoxigenic, producing carcinogenic aflatoxins in crops like peanuts and maize. Development of fungal-resistant maize cultivars is one strategy used to decrease contamination. Successful development and identification of resistant maize genotypes require evaluation of resistance including the performance of both fungus and maize during infection. In this...
